Season 1: TEotW/TGH
Season 2: TDR/TSR
Season 3: TFoH/LoC
Season 4: ACoS/PoD/WH
Season 5: CoT*/KoD/TGS
Season 6: ToM/AMoL
* This will be like 2 episodes max.
Ideally you'd have 20-ep seasons and would devote 10 eps to each book. But that's very unlikely, and would mean a network, so a much lower budget. 12-ep seasons on cable, with 6 eps per book**, could still work though you'd have to lose a bit more even from the earlier books.
It'd be a very challenging series to do, logistically, but not impossible.
** Still roughly 3 times as much time as Red Eagle's movie adaptation will give per book.
Randomly, I'm doing a series of blog entries on this very subject right now, with the first one up now.

You can make the first 3 books into a very satisfying series.....3 seasons or so.

If WoT was to be done at all, it could probably be crunched down to shorter than 14 seasons

If WOT became a TV series, I have to imagine that most secondary characters would be cut.
